Who is more focused on families than a pro-life OB-GYN with a billion children, grandchildren and a great-grandchild. A man who is against wars of aggression and wants to be friendly with all nations? That doesn't describe anyone *but* Ron Paul.

I think I read somewhere that FotF is somehow connected with Blackwater.

I will do some more research - but I think there was thread on this few months ago.
Anyone?

DONT USE THE SAME ONE OR WE'LL LOOK LIKE ROBOTS


Hello, I noticed on your webpage about the candidates ( http://www.citizenlink.org/content/A000006338.cfm ) that Congressman Ron Paul is missing from the list of Republicans. I am disappointed to see this. Relevant magazine said he was one of the most liked candidates among Christians. He came in 2nd place at the Nevada caucus, and either 1st or 2nd place in the Louisiana caucus (there are no official results yet). Rudy Giuliani, who was included on your page, has been beat by Ron Paul in every primary so far except for New Hampshire's. Paul also has the biggest internet following and has raised more money in one day than anyone else in the history of American politics. Ron Paul is a doctor who has delivered over four thousand babies. He has also served in the Airforce during the Vietnam war. He is known on the internet for being "the media's best kept secret" and "the taxpayer's best friend," both at the same time. Dr. Paul also has more support from veterans than any other candidate running for president this election.

This is an MSNBC article posted on Tuesday:

On the 35th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court ruling, Norma McCorvey (a.k.a. "Jane Roe," who later changed her views on abortion in the mid-90s) gave Paul her official endorsement today.

"I support Ron Paul for president because we share the same goal, that of overturning Roe v. Wade. He has never wavered on the issue of being pro-life and has a voting record to prove it. He understands the importance of civil liberties for all, including the unborn," she said at a press conference in Washington this morning.

Paul accepted the pro-life activist's endorsement, saying of abortion: "It is still one of the most crucial issues of our day that we deal with this. As much as I talk about economic liberties, and civil liberties, and trying to avoid the killing overseas, I think the issue of life is paramount."


Ron Paul is popular among liberty loving Americans and people who see that America is going down the wrong path. Please consider adding him to the website.

Thank you,

[pinkmandy]

I called them. (866) 655-4545

They couldn't provide me with a reason they would include a cross dressing pro-choice mayor over a pro-life, pro homeschooling ten term obstetrician congressman who has beat the mayor in every caucus and primary thus far except for one which was nearly a tie.

Call them folks. And Be RESPECTFUL. The girls I talked to were really sweet so no need to be nasty. Ask them the legitimate questions, that's all.

[mnewcomb]

I just called them at the (866) 655-4545 number and spoke with Mattie in correspondence. She said it was made by the 'public policy' group and they have already received numerous contacts (didn't say by email or phone) but that she would respond.

She has me in the database already, so hopefully I will get some info on this...

I gave her a good talking to about censoring and the fact that Guilliani is up there but has lost to Paul 5 times already...

Be nice, but don't be afraid to note the hypocrisy...

[ARealConservative]

At this point can't they jeopardize losing their non-partisan status?

If everybody they list is in favor of remaining in Iraq and the only person left off disagrees, seems like they are making political choices to me.

[JSCHAFER1337]

Better yet, give them a call.

(719) 531-3400

That's the number of the guy in charge of the page. I just got off the phone with him and he said he appreciated my input. Remember to BE RESPECTFUL and articulate. Mention that Dr. Paul is staunchly pro-life and pro-family, and got the endorsement of Jane Roe and the constitution party. Let's make our voice heard.

[JSCHAFER1337]

Dear,

I am not sure if your organization doesn't do its research or it intentionally tries to exclude candidates from your commentary. Lets take Dr. Ron Paul for example. He is a Ob/gyn doctor that has delivered over 4000 babies and has never preformed an abortion. He was recently endorsed by Jane Roe for his steadfast commitment to preserving life. He has 5 children, 18 grandchildren, and 1 great grandchild. Dr. Paul has been married to the same woman for 50 years, and she was his high school sweetheart. If you think he is not a viable candidate you not taking into account that Dr. Paul raised the most money of any republican candidate, placed second in the Nevada Primary and First in the Louisiana caucus. He has won every straw poll since December and has beaten every other person at least once in the primaries yet you people think he isn't worthy of a profile???

But somewhere you decided that a liberal baby killer like Giuliani deserves a spot. Rudy has lost every primary and he supports gay marriage and abortion. He has been married 3 times, committed adultery, and used taxpayer money during a secret affair.

Now how is that a Focus on the Family???????

Also, Mitt Romney who has supported abortion his whole life until he wanted to be President is also on your list.


This kind of treatment to a good honest family oriented man sickens me. I would request that you immediately add a profile about the good doctor and apologize for the delay. You may not agree with everything he says, but when it comes to his support of good family values, there is no debate he wins hands down.

Regards,

I hope this opens their eyes just a little

[Greenskin]

Focus on the Family has a HUGEEEEEEEEEEEE influence on Christians. I know my mom listens to it almost every day driving home from work and receives their monthly booklet. I've listened to it on the radio and they often tell their listeners who to vote for, and the people listen to them.

Getting Ron Paul's name on this program is very important, otherwise all the Christians will vote for Huckabee.

[seeker1]

It's pretty clear from a cursory read of that site that FoF is definitely anti-Ron Paul. There was only one article on all of the FoF sites that has any reference to him. And it was just a roll call.


I saw your candidates page and wondered where the pro-life congressman from Texas was on your site. I certainly didn’t expect you to fall in line with the mainstream media blackout of Dr. Paul, a Christian pro-family candidate.

Dr. Paul has beaten Rudy G. the cross dressing ex-mayor of NY in every contest but NH and that is still debatable.

I’d like to think it was an oversight, let me know.


It is definitely a pro-war site. Kind of weird for a supposed pro-family organization.

Killing is definitely the new virtue of the Christian right.

As a supporter of Focus on the Family, I am extremely discouraged that you have chosen to exclude Congressman Ron Paul from your "Focus Action Candidate Commentary."

I doing so, you have excluded the most Pro Life candidate for President, who is an ardent Christian and OB/GYN physician. He has stood all of his professional life against abortion and is the ONLY congressman to introduce Sanctity of Life Legislation into congress. He recently received the endorsement of Norma McCorvey for his commitment to reverse Roe v. Wade and end the federal government from interfering with the states rights to regulate the abortion industry locally. He is the Right to Life's best friend in Washington. His daughter, also an OB/GYN physician provides free ultrasound studies for a crisis pregnancy center near her practice.

I implore you to do the right thing and include him in your Commentary, lest it will only find it's place alongside the secular press commentaries that are active in denying the people the right to hear from all candidates. We, as Christians, need to separate ourselves from the ways of this world, not embrace them.

May God give you the wisdom you need to make the correct decision.

Sincerely

My first complaint in 20yrs


Hello I've been a fan of Focus on the Family for 20+ years and haven't had a complaint in that time until now.

Why was Ron Paul, a pro-family conservative, excluded from your line up? It's disgraceful that you included Giuliani, a pro-abortion liberal who has consistantly lost to Ron Paul in this primary so far. This stunt has damaged your credibility in my opinion. I hope it was only an accident.

Mine pales by comparison. Although, I did mention the cross dressing, ex-mayor from NY.:D

[JSCHAFER1337]

Let's keep an eye on this and not give up hope. The guy I spoke to sounded very receptive and said he had heard from a lot of Dr. Paul's supporters and understood their concerns. Whether that means they'll add him, who knows, but as the saying goes, the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

Killing is definitely the new virtue of the Christian right.

Pre-emptive war is the only conservative christian value now. As I Christian, I am appalled.

Hi!

I don't see Ron Paul in your Focus Action Candidate Commentary...

He's got the best record of integrity, honesty, and Christian values
of any candidate. Here's his statement of faith:
http://www.ronpaul2008.com/homeschoolers/statement-of-faith

He's endorsed by many pastors:
http://www.ronpaul2008.com/endorsements#pastors

He's also the most pro-life. Unlike the other guys, he's a man of
action, not just words. He was just endorsed by Pro-Life activist
Norma McCorvey ('Jane Roe' of Roe v. Wade). She said "Ron Paul doesn't
just talk about being pro-life, he acts on it":
http://www.ronpaul2008.com/press-releases/159/pro-life-activist-norma-mccorvey-%e2%80%98jane-roe%e2%80%99-of-roe-v-wade-endorses-ron-paul-for-president/

He was the only candidate who bothered to show up at the March for
Life in DC this week.

He's a medical doctor who's delivered over 4000 babies. He's got 5
kids, 18 grandchildren, and has been married to his wife Carol for
over 50 years.

Focus on the Family would LOVE Dr. Paul if they got to know him. As a
conservative Christian, I can't support anyone else!

He's beat Rudy and (ex-candidate) Fred soundly so far in early
primaries/caucuses. He's set all kinds of fundraising records. And
momentum is building every day.

I know you'll want to correct this honest oversight and add the most
conservative, consistently-Christian candidate to your lineup. Have a
GREAT day!

I think letting them know that those upset by this will potentially end their subscriptions is a very powerful method of argument! We should be persuading people to threaten things like this - it's one of the most powerful non-violent protest approaches known to man...

[coffeewithchess]

The Christian groups do it all the time...look at the Ford boycott. Letting them know that you are so unhappy that you are going to unsubscribe may be the only way they listen...clearly leaving out Ron Paul was somebody's choice or mistake...but it seems that RP is left out of a lot these days not by mistake.

[virginiakid]

Who is more focused on families than a pro-life OB-GYN with a billion children, grandchildren and a great-grandchild. A man who is against wars of aggression and wants to be friendly with all nations? That doesn't describe anyone *but* Ron Paul.

Have you ever heard of the Huckster/McPlain/Mittens/Ghouli/etc.... It would be terrible to endorse someone who is actually a true pro-lifer like RP, now wouldn't it. Focus on the Family seems to be about money and power and not about doing the right thing. Sometimes I wonder about them and their true agenda. However, they are a powerful tool if you can get them behind the movement.

[TruckinMike]

I called and mentioned that they had "five" pro-abortion candidates, but they didn't have the only candidate that is actively trying to overturn Roe vs. wade. And then asked them if they still held an anti-abortion position. --

The young lady was real nice. And so was I. She said someone would call me back a let me know why Dr. Paul was excluded, or if they are going to add Dr. Paul to the line up.

I just listened to 30+ minutes of their South Carolina primary coverage...I didn't hear RP's name even mentioned. But they did talk about Rudy Giuliani who placed behind RP in SC...

[BeFranklin]

I wrote my letter as a Christian, and told them their list stank as a "pro family"
list, and I was going to tell other Christians about it. They have two
pro-gay marriage candidates in there at least. Complete fraud.


Your candidate listing is pretty bad. You have candidates who shouldn't
be on there at all. Rudy Giuliani believes in gay rights, dresses up as woman
to have "fun" - but Deuternonomy 22:5 says this is an abomination, lived with gay
roomates, hired a pedophile priest and family friend after he was kicked out of the
Catholic church, and has made his police officers match in gay parades. Mitt Romney
is singly handling responsible for bringing gay marriage in the United States as
governor of Massachusetts over the wishes of the legislator, which isn't surprising,
because some family values, ie monogamy, is not what certain members of the mormon church
exactly espouses - ie their historically responsible for most of the polygamy in the United States.
And that is just the Republican side.

Meanwhile, I notice you left out one of the strongest pro-family and Christian candidates
in the race. Ron Paul has been a Christian all his life, was recently endorsed by Roe
of Roe vs Wade for his pro-life platform, he's been married to the same wife his entire
life (you have candidates that are multiple divorce-es, how is this pro-family?), has an
enormous number of grandkids, has always taught his family the purutain work ethic,
and has two brothers who are ministers. As a doctor, he's personally delivered over
4,000 babies in this world. You have the most pro-family candidate missing. Your
list is awful.

[teshuah]

We at the Homeschoolers Meetup for RonPaul have already been hashing this out for a couple days now.

in 2004 one of the members had written to FoF in regard to Dobson's taking sides with the war and calling those who don't support the war unChristian and/or Liberals.

The reply was that Dobson subscribes to the Augustanian Just war theory. A quote from the reply:


As an adherent of the classic Augustinian "just war" theory, he is convinced that this is a case where the biblical and theological justifications for the use of force are fairly obvious. You may be right in asserting that the U.S. invasion of Iraq was not "defensive" in the strictest and most narrowly defined sense of the term. However, viewed within the larger context of the global War on Terrorism, the defensive nature of America’s pre-emptive strike against Hussein seems indisputable. Please don’t misunderstand. Dr. Dobson doesn’t like war and killing any better than you do, but he believes that this may be one of those moments in history when we are forced to settle for a trade-off: the lives of the few in exchange for the lives of the many.

Call them folks. And Be RESPECTFUL. The girls I talked to were really sweet so no need to be nasty. Ask them the legitimate questions, that's all.


Thanks for the number and the advice. I just called and a nice lady took my call. This may not be right, but I asked the lady to remove my name from their mailing list, said some nice things about Dr. Paul, and mentioned a donation I had made previously to Focus on the Family.
Hopefully, it was just an oversight on their part to exclude Dr. Paul. But hey, all would be forgiven if Dr. Dobson (whom I admire greatly) would give Dr. Paul an interview sayyyyyy maybe aired the day before Super Tuesday.:)
I don't think the derision towards FOTF is justified. As I recall Dobson is on record as saying the Republicans can not just play lip service and get his vote. And as I recall, several months ago John McCain said that Dr. Dobson would not even entertain a call from McCain.

Sarah also said the next update won't be until after the Florida primary(which is tomorrow). She also said that RP wasn't the only candidate exclude, I asked her who the other candidates were, she said Mike Gravel and Dennis Kucinich(cleary she wasn't a political person, because she didn't know how to pronounce their names), but I thanked her for her time and wished her a good day.

BS. 9/11 won them the election in '04. It's like that quote from "Wag the dog" I can't seem to forget: "You don't change horses in midstream!"

Nope.

What got people out to vote in key battleground states was the inclusion of the anti-gay marriage amendments after the failure of the FMA. It was preached from the pulpits, and , the subtle hint was made that "While you're saving your family, you can save your country too."

11 states banned Gay Marriage , after Bush called for them to do it at the state level in the General Election. Many states were ready to go to ballot before then, in the 2003 election, but the people involved with collecting signatures intentionally held it over. They wanted the conservative neocon evangelicals out at the polls in 2004. Not 2003.

Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Michigan, Mississippi, Montana, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon and Utah.

And what state was a "key state" for Bush? What state had the election coordinator for the state working for Diebold? What state made the difference?

Ohio. With it's 20 electoral votes.

[Benaiah]

I just called and told them to remove me from their mailing list. I told them to pass on that I found it disgraceful that their organization chose to exclude Ron Paul from the coverage from their political arm (focus on family action) given the fact that he is the most pro life candidate.

[Maltheus]

Focus on the Family is headquartered here in Colorado Springs. I'm tempted to go put a Ron Paul sign up on their lawn. Ron Paul is coming to Colorado on Friday and may even stop down in the Springs. None of the other candidates are doing that, but they still won't list him. I think we're also the only campaign to have a candidate office down here and we have 283 members in our meetup group. I know they're a national organization, but way to piss off the local grassroots! Obviously, focus on the family is another NRA, wolves in sheep's clothing.
